Summary
This study looks at whether pelvic floor muscle training is practical and helpful for people recovering from a spinal cord injury during inpatient rehab. Researchers will recruit 50 participants to do pelvic floor physiotherapy five times a week for six weeks. The goal is to see if this training can improve bladder, bowel, and sexual function, as well as quality of life.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to improve bladder, bowel, and sexual function for people with spinal cord injury.
What could go wrong
